I think Dr. Holderer is a great teacher. He is willing to help any student that is willing to help themselves. Don't expect him to know you are struggling ask him. He is very kind to those who need help and ask for it. As for those who don't you're fault. He may talk a little to much, but that is besides the point. I recommend him to others.

Dr. Bob is an exceptional professor who genuinely cares about the success of his students. Give your best effort and there is no reason for not getting an A or at worst, a B in his class.

Harmless, dull, uninspiring. He's just punching the clock. You will do well if you follow his vanilla formula, but he is not interested in anything that is creative or innovative.

Dr. Bob (as he likes to be called) is a very easy professor. Show up and put minimal effort into his assignments and you'll get an A. He is obsessed with doing things his way though, so be prepared for that. He will tear your work apart 3 times before just giving you an A in the end.
